What if Mr Rochester’s first wife, the ‘mad woman in
the attic’, wasn’t really mad at all, and what if she didn’t
die as Charlotte Brontë would have us believe?

Revealed as a parallel story to the one we already know and
love, this is the untold story of Bertha Antoinetta Mason;
Jane Eyre’s Rival - The Real Mrs Rochester.

A tale of mystery and intrigue, embraced within a story that
has excitement, passion and betrayal at its heart.

Despite its obvious literary heritage, this is also a modern
story of love and relationships, told in a way that will
make you question and explore the very nature of your
relationships with friends, family and your search for ‘The
One’.
